Just some random thoughts, cant really analyze and delve in too much because this game and season is what it is. I think acceptence is the best advice.
1. This is the worst RU team since 2002
2. RU is clearly the worst team in the Big 10 in 2016.
3. RU is very unlikely to win another game this year
4. 42640 official attendance but probably not more than 35K in the game at peak...horrible showing on homecoming
5. Program is at a crossroads with the fanbase. Fans are tuning out or not coming. Next year with the unattractive home schedule will be worrisome for ticket sales
6. Ash has tons of leeway with people who understand football as he should. He was left a team that was poor on talent, that is all Flood's fault.
7. That being said I believe its fair to level at least some criticism toward Ash for handling of the QB situation and the offense in general
8. Ash may or may not get it done. We will not know for 3 years but those who say he won't are wrong and those who say they know he will are also blowing smoke too..its a very tough road
9. The coaching staff made a misstep with the offense they are trying to run without any talent to run it, while I realize they wanted to get their system in as soon as possible, it needed to be modified somewhat. The jury is out on Merhinger.
10. Team is perilously closing to packing it in for the season. I dont see as much toughness/sheer desire as a fan would want to see overall.
11. Gio was the highlight today even though his mistake was costly. He should start next game as he seemed to be the only one that can grasp the offense and move the ball. Laviano should not be on the field anymore.
12. Our snaps..ugh, deserves major criticism
13. Just two tds in 12-13 quarters is deplorable
14. Fanbase needs to stop pencilling in wins for the next 2 years. I see this all the time. RU has now dropped into the bottom bog of this conference where Illinois and Purdue reside. Its going to take well into 2018 to get out of this.
15. RU is going to take more lumps in the press and by college footballl fans. Perception is reality. Do not get upset, based on onfield results RU has done nothing to deserve being in the Big 10 and with historic losing this year, its only going to get worse. Perception isnt driven by potential or what may happen in a decade. Perception is driven by what you did for me lately. Its going to be a rough couple of years and hopefully Ash gets us out of this mess or we could end up a perpetual bottom team with ocassional 6-6/7-5 type year.
